[Holiday in North Korea] Calculating North Korean age
[Holiday in North Korea] Calculating North Korean age
There've been too many commentaries and sensationalistic photo essays produced from tourist trips to North Korea. The people with anything interesting to say usually aren't willing to share it publicly, if they have any hope of ever visiting the isolated country again.

[Cityscapes] Tripping over legends in Geoje's abandoned amusement park
[Cityscapes] Tripping over legends in Geoje's abandoned amusement park
Abandoned amusement parks evoke a lot of interesting emotions in people, even though to me they're one of the less mysterious types of abandonments I visit. But I get it, as there are anthropomorphic faces everywhere, and amusement parks have been used to creepy effect in countless movies and cartoons.
